Thanks to its Chip-on-Board LEDs, this NiteRider taillight emits highly visible flash patterns in a small, compact package. It's lightweight and easy to clip onto straps or belt loops while you ride.
“I've used this taillight for multiple 24-hour rides & midnight centuries that require daytime & nighttime running lights. The LEDs are plenty bright, and the flash pattern is obnoxious enough to hold a driver's attention. It's USB-C rechargeable!”

This thing is bright. Like, bright-bright, bright. All the words for bright can be used to describe the brightness that this thing emits all in the name of safety. The brightness is so bright you can almost feel its photons hitting your face. The brightness can also be viewed at a 90 degree angle, increasing the overall visibility. My kid put one on the back of his bike helmet and says the brightness makes him faster. Who doesn’t want to clip on a blazing photon pulse engine that makes their bike rides even faster? I ask him if I can borrow it on my rides to make me faster too. I think he’s right.
The on/off switch is way too sensitive and it will turn off and on in any bag, pocket, etc. Very frustrating. Now, on my first rainy ride, the entire light filled with water and it's cooked.
This light satisfies all my requirements. I only use this for on road day riding so I needed a bright light. This satisfies that, plus it's small and doesn't take up any room in a small pack when not needed. You can clip it to either a pack or belt, or use the saddle post clamp. The 7 modes is more than needed. I will primarily use the lower energy modes as they are plenty bright.
The tail light is, overall a very good product. It features 36 led mini lights arranged in 4x9 array and has 7 different modes. The light intensity goes from very bright to bright, even in the low intensity settings. Even on a bright, sunny day one its low intensity settings, the "econ" blinking display is very bright and according to the specs, will last 20h. I have yet to test the longevity of the battery, but given my experience with other Nite Ride lights, I expect that the listed specifications are close to reality. A rating of 4/5 starts due to one negative: the light holding strap has significant limitations of attaching this light to your bike. It's sturdy but the only place where this strap will fit well is around a round seat post. The strap is also useless for being fixed to seat stays, which on most bikes have small diameter. Best use: take the light out of the strap holder and hook it onto your saddle bag if it has a light attachment strap.
This light looks nice, works well, and is very bright. But as some other reviews note, the on/off switch breaks easily. I took it apart and there is a tiny button just soldered vertically on the motherboard, such that every time you press it, the force pushes the contacts sideways. Eventually, they will break. In my case, the solder held but little bits of the circuit board tore out around the connection. This is an obvious design flaw just from looking at the circuit board. It is clear they do not care about reliability.
Super bright and small. Like that has a clip to go on my rear bike bag. Really excited that will do double duty as a emergency flasher on the back of my pickup truck if problems while highway traveling
I've had two, and on both the small on/off button was fragile and doesn't last. When it breaks, the whole thing is useless b/c you can't turn it off or on. Great while it lasts, but doesn't last long.
New purchase I’ve only used twice. Has numerous steady and flashing settings and very bright. Attaches easily and recharges quickly. So far very pleased!
Great light, very bright....but lasted less than a year as would not turn on after 10 months oof use.
So far so good. Fits my space and lasted my first ride over 5 hours.
